CF SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
5-3
If your fryer is not equipped with the built-in Filter Magic II Filtration system, the oil must be
drained into another suitable container. For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used oil,
Frymaster recommends the use of our shortening disposal unit (SDU). The SDU is available through
your local distributor.
Clean Detachable Parts and Accessories
As with the frypot, a deposit of carbonized oil will accumulate on detachable parts and accessories
such as baskets, sediment trays, or fishplates
Wipe all detachable parts and accessories with a clean cloth dampened with a detergent solution.
Rinse and thoroughly dry each part.
Check Calibration of Thermostat/Solid State (Analog) Controller Temperature Control Knob
(NOTE: This check applies only to units equipped with Thermostat or Solid State (Analog)
Controllers.)
1. Ensure frypot is filled with oil or shortening.
2. Set the temperature control knob to frying temperature.
3. Let the burner cycle on and off automatically three times in order for the oil temperature to
become uniform. If necessary, stir to get all shortening in the bottom of the frypot melted.
4. Insert a good-grade thermometer or pyrometer probe into the oil, with the end touching the fryer
temperature probe.
5. When the burner starts for the fourth time, the thermometer/pyrometer reading should be within
± 5ºF (2ºC) of the temperature knob setting. If not, calibrate as follows:
a. Loosen the setscrew in the temperature control knob until the knob rotates freely on the shaft.
b. Rotate the knob until the index line on the knob is aligned with the marking that corresponds
to the thermometer or pyrometer reading.
c. Hold the knob and tighten the setscrew.
d. Recheck the thermometer/pyrometer reading against the temperature control knob setting the
next time the burner comes on.
e. Repeat steps 4.a. through 4.d. until the thermometer/pyrometer reading and knob setting are
within ± 5ºF (2°C).
If calibration is not possible, contact a Factory Authorized Service Center for service.
